If You're Worried About Skin Sagging in Yeoksam Shurink

These days, many people are worried about wrinkles

and skin sagging,

and are looking for lifting procedures.

I often hear things like,

“Every time I look in the mirror, my sagging

jawline bothers me,” or

“My skin elasticity has gone down, so I seem

a lot older.”

Interest in Shurink Universe is especially growing.

This procedure is HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)-based,

like Ulthera,

but because the cost is relatively low,

it has become popular as an effective method.

Today, I’ll explain the principles and effects of

Yeoksam Shurink,

as well as why results differ from person to person

and what to check when choosing a clinic.

What Is Yeoksam Shurink?

Shurink Universe is a lifting procedure that uses HIFU technology

to deliver ultrasound energy to the deep layers of the skin.

This energy targets the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system),

generates heat,

and thereby induces collagen contraction and regeneration.

Ultrasound energy bypasses the epidermis and reaches deep layers,

minimizing surface damage,

and with heat above 60 degrees Celsius,

it contracts existing collagen and promotes

new collagen production.

As a result, it improves skin elasticity

and helps reduce sagging.

Why Do Results Differ from Person to Person?

The effects of Shurink procedures can vary

from person to person,

and the reasons can mainly be summarized

into four points.

Differences in skin thickness and fat layer: Because each person’s skin thickness

and fat layer are different,

a suitable tip selection is necessary.

Ultrasound energy intensity: If the energy is too weak,

the effect may be insufficient, and if it is too strong,

side effects such as burns can occur.

It is important to set the energy appropriately

according to the skin condition.

Insufficient number of shots: A sufficient number of shots is needed,

and more shots are required when targeting a larger facial area

or multiple layers.

Device operation: If the handpiece is not operated correctly,

the energy may not be delivered properly.

Medical staff must operate it vertically

in line with the curves of the face

to maximize the effect.

Post-Procedure Care and Precautions

After a Shurink procedure, skin care is needed to

maximize the effect and prevent side effects.

Moisturizing care: Since the skin may become dry,

adequate hydration is necessary.

Sun protection: The skin may become sensitive,

so sunscreen must be used.

Avoid skin irritation: It is best to avoid saunas,

washing with hot water, and strong exfoliation

for at least one week.

Lifestyle management: Alcohol and nicotine interfere

with recovery, so it is advisable to avoid them.

As with all procedures, side effects can occur.

Typical side effects are as follows.

Temporary swelling and redness: After the procedure, the skin may

become slightly swollen or red,

and this usually subsides within a few hours to a day.

Pain and discomfort: You may feel stinging or discomfort

during or after the procedure.

In particular, if the skin is thin or sensitive,

the pain may be greater, but it eases over time.

Bruising or burn risk: In rare cases, if the energy is concentrated

in one area, bruising or burns may occur.

Bruising disappears within 1 to 2 weeks,

but severe burns may require treatment at a clinic.

Temporary facial asymmetry: If the ultrasound energy affects the nerves,

the strength of the facial muscles may weaken,

causing asymmetry.

In most cases, it recovers within a few weeks,

but in rare cases it can persist,

so caution is needed.

Because the results of the procedure can vary depending on

the medical staff’s experience and the skin condition,

it is important to proceed after sufficient consultation.

Yeoksam Shurink is loved by many as a simple yet

effective lifting procedure.

However, the results can vary greatly depending on

the medical staff’s experience,

skills, and aftercare.

Rather than low cost, it is important to choose a clinic

that provides an accurate diagnosis

and careful treatment.

it is a good idea to choose Yeoksam Shurink Transparent Dermatology,
